    Assistant Professor of Linguistics Rice University

    The Department of Linguistics, Rice University, is seeking to fill a tenure-track position in linguistics at the level of assistant professor beginning fall, 1999. The Ph.D. is required.

    We are seeking a person who has multiple capabilities. First, we desire someone whose primary focus is the social contextualization of language. The candidate should have an interest in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on language & society and sociolinguistics. We also expect the successful candidate to share the orientation of the Department of Linguistics, which takes an integrative approach to language that is sensitive to functional and cognitive concerns. Fieldwork on a non-Indo-European language and an interest in language description and diachrony are pluses. Possible areas of expertise include sociolinguistics, pidgin and creole linguistics, and (con)textual analysis. We anticipate that the new faculty will interact with other programs such as Cognitive Sciences, Anthropology, Sociology, and the Center for the Study of Languages.

    Rice University is a private, selective institution with undergraduate and graduate strengths in science, engineering, the social sciences and the humanities. Rice places strong emphasis on research and excellence in classroom teaching. The normal course load is six hours per semester.

    Interviews will be held in January, 1999 at the LSA meeting in Los Angeles. For full consideration, applications including cover letter, CV, three names of references, and a representative writing sample must be received by November 15, 1998.
